Gareth Bale

They can't afford a transfer fee of 60+ million. What are they going to do? ''Have Nike help fund the deal for them'' again. Bullshit. Fabregas is a no-go either. Moyes should stick to realistic targets like Fellaini and Baines and stop wasting valuable time trying to attract unattainable targets, whilst very decent players are transferred to other clubs. Could really backfire on Moyes and United.

Spurs need a striker though, and can offer Rooney plus £30m...which they can afford.

But without Bale they have no shot at CL, which is what they are shooting for. Spurs already turned down Madrid's 60m offer. So why would they accept the same money they turned down and have him go to a rival? Makes no sense.

Utd remain utd and players will want to play there sadly.

Had a chat with Graham Hunter . He said United would have signed Thiago , had baconface stayed there or they hired Guardiola.

Spurs wouldn't entertain a player swap for Bale. Anyone interested has to be prepared to meet their full valuation.

Is it 80mill or a 100mill ??

Probably.

Best post of the day

Talkshite are trying to say Rooney, Nani and £15M for Bale.
That would be a terrible deal for Spurs and great one for the rags. They get rid of two players they don't want who are on big money and get Bale for a pittance.
Won't happen though, unless Levy is a complete prick.

That was a caller who suggested that on drive time.

Bale is worth 100m to Spurs in my view but he would not be worth half that to anyone signing him and that's the problem I can't see it being worth to another club what he is worth to spurs. Felt the same about Cavani I think without him it'll be Bue bye champs league and quite possibly bud bye 100m. But for me as a signing club 35m max is what he is worth

They won't sing Bale, they won't sign Ronaldo, they won't sign Farbregas, and they won't sign Messi.

This is all an orchestrated plan by them to maintain the illusion that they still have the same pull for the World's best players that they did when Ferguson was in charge.

The facts here, despite all the fabricated, Sky-sponsored Bale and Ronaldo bullshit, are that they have bid for three players so far - Baines (which was rejected by Everton), Thiago (which they spent some time trying to get a bargain on, before the player jumped at Bayern as soon as they firmed up their interest) and Fabregas (which was pitched too low so it wouldn't be accepted, and which neither the player nor Barcelona were interested in anyway).

This is a testing time for the Rags, as they need their Shareholders on the New York Stock Exchange to keep the faith with them, and not sell en masse to invest elsewhere - this is what the Glazers care about above all else, and this is what the Glazer appointed Chairman Ed Woodward is trying his best to ensure.

They will most likely sign Baines and Fellaini, who are very good players and will address areas of their team which need addressing, thus making them stronger - but no-one over in New York will have the first clue who those two are. They will, however, know exactly who Rooney is, and that he wants to leave. Consequently the Rags are putting it about through their favoured channels that they are in for all these super names, whilst trying to bring in the players they actually want.

They're so transparent at the moment its getting embarrassing, but people need to ignore the Sky reports and Daily Fail articles, and look at what's actually going on at the Rags so far this summer - that will tell you all you need to know.

Truly excellent post, could of hit the nail on the head completely.
